Red Square, Moscow Russia

This is what I have decided to do instead of work today. LOL. No good. But I decided to write a little bit about Russia. The first place that we went to well the first day was Sunday, so we went to church but the following day we went to Red Square. It was AMAZING!!! I love it! Here is a little about it from Wikipedia:

"Red Square is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia."

Here is a little of what we saw there:The State Historical Museum.St. Basil's Cathedral. It was beautiful inside. Floor to entire ceiling and back down was hand painted so ornately. I can't imagine the time it took them to do it. It was incredible and every hallway and room was different, unique, and just amazing.The mall on Red Square.The church of the trinity in Nikitniki: The view of buildings of the square walking into the mall:

It was so fun to learn about the history of Russia while I was there. I have never been much of a history buff but it was so facinating. There is definitely something to say about being somewhere sparking interest to learn about it! There will be more to come, as for now, I better go back to work!
